Going Pro

Nah, not pro fisherman that's just a dream. The other day I splashed out on a new toy, the GoPro Hero 3 video camera. It's what all the adventurous people of this world are using to capture mountain biking, sky diving, skiing and everything else that's crazy. I'm just going to use it to capture some underwater fishy stuff since it comes in a waterproof housing. Already I've got my landing net handle sorted to mount the camera on and I'm hatching plans for other stuff. I don't have anything exciting to share yet as I've not really used it but come summer time I'm hoping to get something good to put on here. Clear water and bright sunshine should help me get the best pictures and there's also the fact that the fish at this time are far more mobile.

The camera itself is tiny, captures up to 1080 video and has a couple of useful handy things such as photo and burst mode, plus time lapse which I like the idea of and it also has it's own WiFi so you can connect to your Apple device while out to preview pictures or review what you just did. I'll have to get my creative hat on and see what I can construct. I'll also have to get my fishing hat on and start catching some fish again, which so far this year hasn't gone that well though, I am off the mark with the pike finally. So I just need some clear water and a few fish to play ball now.
